how to let users confirm data entered on a form before it is submi

[john vella]

i'm not a very advanced user, so you'll probably need to make your
explanation as simple as possible. here's what i'm trying to do:

1. user fills out some elements of a form.
2. send filled out data to a confirmation page to ask "are you sure?"
3. submit button on confirmation page sends data to the database.

suggestions?

Hi john,

The FrontPage form components are designed to do a few very common types of
tasks, and nothing more. To do more, you would need to have some advanced
understanding of how HTML, HTTP, and web forms work, know how to program,
and write your own custom server-side form handler.

At this stage of the game, perhaps it would be best to work with the
FrontPage forms in the way they were designed. The only difference between
what you described and a typical FrontPage form is the intermediate
confirmation page. Is it worth that much trouble to have it work slightly
differently?

John,
This is not an out-of-the-box item. It would require some
custom scripting to implement. The easiest way for me would
be to daisy-chain the forms. Form 1 would be set up as the
actual form, and form2 would be the 'confirmation' form. An
example follows


Form1.htm
textbox: name1
post to custom script (form2.asp)

form2.asp
dim strName1
strName1 = request.form("name1")
textbox: name2 ----> set the default value to strName1
post: database

Could you place a statement in bold type or whatever next
to the Submit button advising the visitor to check their
entries prior to clicking the Submit button?
